Principles of Progression
There are 27 statements of what matters in all and these represent the sum of what learners need to know and understand when they leave compulsory education. They are the fundamentals of each Area and all learning must link back to them. The five principles of progression provide a higher level of understanding for practitioners on how learners progress and underpin progression across all Areas. However, in the Mathematics and Numeracy Area the model of progression is based on the development of five interdependent proficiencies. The descriptions of learning articulate how learners should progress within each statement of what matters. They are arranged in five progression steps which form the continuum of learning.
The principles of progression provide a mandatory requirement of what progression must look like for learners.
They are designed to be used by practitioners to:
understand what progression means and should look like in each Area
develop the curriculum and learning experiences to enable learners to progress in the ways described
develop assessment approaches which seek to understand whether this progress is being made.
